Double plateau formation in isocyano compounds. a Structural formula of measured compounds. b Schematics of MCBJ setup for liquid measurements. c Overview of BdNC measurements: 1445 opening conductance traces at 0.1 V bias voltage in 100 μM solution in THF:Mesitylene 1:4 (v/v). Central panel: conductance-displacement histogram and two typical opening traces. The histogram displays the counts per bin on a linear scale with 25 bins per decade of conductance and a bin size of 0.15 Å for displacement. Sample traces are shifted horizontally for clarity. Right panel: conductance histogram with 25 bins per decade. Red dashed curves represent Gaussian fit of the conductance peaks. d Overview of closing traces analysis: 1445 traces at 0.1 V bias voltage in 100 μM BdNC solution. Central panel: conductance-displacement histogram and two typical closing traces. Right panel: conductance histogram with 25 bins per decade; red curve: conductance histogram of opening traces shown in (c)
